Interjections


Hello guys! How are you doing? I am so glad we finally surpassed our first long exam.
I hope we all get good results. :)
Interjection or also known as exclamation is a word used to express a feeling or sentiment of the speaker and is usually placed at the beginning of a sentence. Interjections are commonly followed by an exclamation mark "!".
(e.g "Excuse me!", "Sorry!", "No thank you!", "Oh dear!", "Hey that's mine!")

  1. In addition to your post, interjections are not grammatically related to any other part of the sentence. As, "Hey! Put that down!" and "Oh no, I forgot that the exam was today." ("hey" and "oh no" are the interjections).They are uncommon in formal academic prose, except in direct quotations. :)
